Manufacturer's Description
What starts in the city is settled in the canyons as Need for Speed Carbon immerses you in the world's most dangerous and adrenaline-filled form of street racing. You and your crew must race in an all-out war for the city, risking everything to take over your rivals' neighbourhoods one block at a time. As the police turn up the heat, the battle ultimately shifts to Carbon Canyon, where territories and reputations can be lost on every perilous curve. Represent your car class, your crew, and your turf in Need for Speed Carbon, the next revolution in racing games.

Key Features:
All-new Canyon Duel and Drift race modes are the ultimate test of skill and nerve, where one wrong turn could cost you more than the race.

Race for control of the city block-by-block by taking down rival crews on their turf, then defeat their crew leaders in life-or-death races in Carbon Canyon.

The revolutionary new Autosculpt car customisation tool gives you the power to design and tweak your crew's cars in every way imaginable.

Affiliate with the Tuner, American Muscle, or Exotic car classes and prove once and for all who makes the best set of wheels. A new physics model makes each class handle and drive differently.

Strategically choose your crew members and then use their skills on the road and in the garage to help you win races and customise your cars.

Customer Reviews

Fun but Disappointing
I got Carbon after loving most wanted, thinking it would be just as good if not better. Sadly, I was wrong.
The new race types are cool and the autosculpt feature is brilliant, despite you not being able to autosculpt AND use bodykits.
Graphics are decent and gameplay's good.
BUT. The storyline is fantastic, but it just fizzles out without an ending. Most Wanted had a brilliant finale, but on Carbon you beat the final boss and that's it, no final police chase despite there being an undercover cop in the racer's mist. I hope they'll bring this storyline back and end it properly!
Don't expect too much from this game, it's decent, but that's about it. Make sure you're prepared to be disappointed.
Come on Need For Speed! You can do better than this!

Good
This is a good game to play on the career mode, and good for police chases, which are ridiculous but brilliant. I would say if in doubt buy it but it's not the best racing game around, burnout is far more fun, as crashes are more easily made large and explosive. only 4 stars-****

its fun
i agree with other reviewers that the same old bodykits are boring but there are other aspects that are more fun
police chases
my first NFS game was underground 2.
you can only race so many street racers before you have to get on with your career and no police
most wanted
i like the inclusion of police chases but you are very limited with the graphics on your cars
carbon
police chases
multi layered graphics
exact choice of colours
race events as many times as you like
challenges and rewards
the only disappointment with this game is the lack of things to mod. you cant change as much as you can in carbon but i can live with that. the police chases are my biggest attraction to this one. i dont like track games and without the police, games are boring. there is something strangely satisfying about ramming a cop car and sending it flying while you floor it away from the next one who chases you
combine the extra mods and cop cars and you will have a fantastic game. come on EA, lets see it
